WATER AND GAS SEPARATdR- Improvement in Water and Gas Separators,

of which the following is a-specification.

. Thls lnvention relates to certain new and useful improvements upon my patent issued December 6, 1904,:No. 776,753, the object being to distribute the force of gas, especially in high pressure so as to eliminate the spray and give the water chance to collect and settle to the bottom-of the-tank, and allow the separation to be made more perfectly.

With this and. various other objects in view, theinvention consists in the novel features of construction, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a partof this specification :F igure 1 is a perspective view of my improved water and gas separator. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the separator. Fig. 3 is a transe verse sectional view taken on the lines 33 of Fig. 2.

' .out horizontally and to which an'elbow E, is secured-carrying a pipe E provided -with a T-coupling' E towhich an inlet pipe F is connected. The caps A B are provided with threaded openings in which the lower threaded ends of the pipe sections A B are secured which are provided with caps A, B", onthe upper ends provided with threaded openings through which the threaded ends of the pipes G and H project, which extend down into the tanks and are provided with heads G H carrying downwardly projectcurved distributing pipes G H Secur'ed to the upper threaded ends of the pipes G and H, are elbows I provided with f pipe sections I, carrying a T-coupling I provided with a p'pe 1 connected at .its

other end to the T-coupling E Specification of Letters Patent. Applicatioafiled August 28, 1906. Serial No. 332,866.

t Fig. 4 is a perspective view of .one of the hoods. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional Patented June 4, 190 7.

The pipe sections A B are provided with threaded openings in its side in which are secured pipe sections 'lcarrying a T- coupling J, in which an outlet pipe J", is secured. Brackets K and Bare secured in the tanks A and B, provided with hoods K, L

at their upper ends forming reflectors, the

hood K being formed inverted V-shapedfin cross-section. Secured tothe bracket L are apertured lugs L in which is mounted a rod M, carrying a hollow float M, which is provided with.a tube M extending out from the top provided with .a cap M at its up-- per end which prevents the same from being .filled with water and at the same time to allow the gas to enter the float, therebyeq'ualizing the pressure. Projecting-up through a threaded opening in the cap B, of the tank B is a-pipe N provided with avalve O, at its the agitation in the bottomof the tanks 2 reventing the dirt from settling and bloc 9 up the' ipes, and the gas entering the top of the ta s through the pipes G and H, is divided again by the distributors G H and strikes the hoods K, Lpreventing the gas from boiling u the water accumulated in the bottom of t e tank thus preventing much spray and protects the float M from incoming rush of gas, and as the gas rises, it will pass out the outlet ipe J As thewat'er rises in 'the tank, it w' carry the float with it, which will gradually open' the valve 0 allowing a portion of. the water to escape out the discharge pipe N and as the float falls, the valve close gradually. r p

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The combination with a air of tanks connected together. by pipes at their top-and bottom, of an inlet pipe connected to said pipes, outlet pipes connected to said tanks and a discharge pipe connected to one of said tanks, for the purpose described.

2.. The combination with a pair of tanks, of inletjpipes oonnected to the top and bot- 3. The combination with a pair of tanks,-

I of inlet pipes connected to the top and bettom of said tanks, outlet pipes connected to the top of said tanks,'a discharge pipe secured in the bottom of one of said tanks provided with a valve and a float connected to said valve, for the purpose described.

4. The combination with a pair of tanks, of pipes connecting the top and bottom of said tank, an inlet pipe connected to said pipes, outlet pipes connected to said tanks, and a discharge pipe provided with a valve arranged in one of said tanks, for the purpose described.

5. The combination with a pair of tanks,

connected together at their lower ends, of pipes extending down into said tanks pro? vided with distributers, pipes connected to said pipes and the connecting pipes, an inlet pipe connected to said pipes, and outlet pipes connected tosaid tanks, for the purpose described.

6. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a pair of tanks, of inlet pipes connected to the top and bottom of said tanks, reflectors arranged in said tanks, outlet pipes connectedto said tanks, and .a valve controlled discharge pipe, connected to one of said tanks, for the purpose described.

7. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a pair of tanks, of inlet pipes connected to said tanks at their top and bottom, distributers connected to the upper inlet pipes, and reflectors arranged under said I distributers, for the purpose described.

8. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a pair of tanks, of inlet pipes c'onnected to the top and bottom ofv said tanks, distributers connected to the upper inlet pipes in said tanks, reflectors arranged in said tanks under said distributers, outlet pipes connected to said tanks, and a discharge pipe connected to one of said tanks provided with a floatoperated valve, for the purpose described.

9. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a pair of tanks, provided with reduced upper portions, of inlet pipes connected to the bottom of said tanks, inlet pipes connected to said reduced portion having distributers on their ends, outlet pipes connected to the reduced portion, reflectors arranged in said tanks under said distributers, a discharge pipe connected to one of said tanks, provided with a valve, and a lloat connected to'said valve, for the purpose set forth.

10. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a pair of tanks provided with reduced upper portions, of pipes 'connecting the lower ends of said tanks, pipes eX- tending down into said tank through the tops of the reduced portions, and inlet pipes connected to said pipes and to the pipes connecting the lower end of the tanks, outlet pipes connected to the reduced portion of said tanks, and a valve controlled dischargepipe connected to one of said tanks, for the purpose described.

11. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a pair of tanks of inlet pipes connected to thetop and bottom of said tanks, outlet pipes connected to the top of the said tanks, a discharge pipe extending up into one of said tanks, provided with a valve, and a float slidably mounted in said tank connected to-the stem of said valve by links, for the purpose described.

12. In a device of the kind described, the

combination with a pair of tanks, of inlet' pipes connected to the top and bottom of said tanks, distributers connected to the upper inlet pipes, brackets mounted in said tanks provided with deflectors, apertured lugs secured to one of said brackets, a rod slidably mounted in said lugs carrying a float, a valve controlled discharge pipe connected to said tank and links connecting the stem of said valve to said rod for the purpose described.
